British actor Idris Elba aka Driis has turned his attention to music again. The single Private Garden is produced by 9th Wonder. Via Soul Culture Private Garden isn’t a terrible single and it’s well produced, but I’ve said this before and I will say it again Idris should stick to what he is really good at – ACTING!
